How to boost your Communications Outsourcing and Professional Services (COPS) Magic Quadrant position

The Gartner Magic Quadrant for COPS can reap huge rewards for your company

If you can answer “yes” to any of these questions

  • Are your competitors getting better results — even when their product is inferior?
  • Are you struggling to ‘move your dot’ in this MQ?
  • Do your references seem to say something different when they talk to you and the analysts?
  • Did you not manage to be included in 2016 and want to try in 2017?
